All-Electric Rimac Nevera Hits 171.34MPH in Reverse, Sets New Guinness World Record

Rimac Nevera 171MPH Reverse Guinness World Record
We know the Bugatti Bolide is fast, but can it beat the Rimac Nevera going in reverse? Most likely not, as the all-electric Rimac Nevera Time Attack Edition managed to hit 171.34mph going in reverse, setting a new Guinness World Record.



What made this run possible is because the 1,914 hp Nevera’s drivetrain has no gears, just four individual motors either go backwards or forwards, offering relentless acceleration right the way from standstill. This same powertrain can help the Nevera achieve a 0-100mph run in just 3.21 seconds hit 200mph in just under 11 seconds.

It occurred to us during development that Nevera would probably be the world’s fastest car in reverse, but we kind of laughed it off. The aerodynamics, cooling and stability hadn’t been engineered for travelling backwards at speed, after all. But then, we started to talk about how fun it would be to give it a shot. Our simulations showed that we could achieve well over 150mph but we didn’t have much of an idea how stable it would be – we were entering unchartered territory,” said Matija Renićm Nevera Chief Program Engineer, Bugatti Rimac

  • Echo Dot is a voice-controlled speaker that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, make calls, answer questions, set timers and alarms,…
  • Play music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio.
  • Call or message family and friends hands-free, or drop in from the Alexa App to your Echo device.

Like all models of the ID. family, the new body shape of the ID.7 is based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group. The advantages of the modular system with short overhangs and long wheelbase benefit the interior. The result is the character of an elegant full-sized hatchback version with a particularly generous sense of space and an increase in trunk volume,” said the company.
